New autocross video, various cars from the site

[Steve1968LS2]

Was just sent the last of the external vids of Penny at the autocross event. The first half is how I drove it to the event and there's quite a bit of roll. In the later ones I dialed the shocks stiffer and you can really notice a difference.

Mary Pozzi is the pilot. By the time the race gets here I should have a bunch more power, a better trans, less weight and a few other goodies done. Too bad YouTube lowers the picture quality so much, the original looks great. But, at least the sound is good.

Also, here's a better version of that pic some requested for a screen saver/wallpaper.

Here's some other cars we tested that day. Look the the whole story on these cars in the Jan issue of Super Duper Chevy. Cars include the DSE 2nd gen, Heidts Camaro, TCI Nova, and some air ride cars, etc.

lol.. yep.. Mary had "fun" that day driving cars from all the different manufacturers (and Penny).

And even waterboarding couldn't make her spill the beans. More vids will go up when the story comes out.. that I have to write.

Steve,

Man, Penny is looking good out there. I saw her at SEMA last year, and that is one amazing machine. Probably one of the cleanest engine bays ever. Good to her running through the cones. Can't wait to see the upgrades.

Couple of weeks ago I asked her just to tell me one thing:if they were older cars of newer cars...she wouldn't even tell me that.

Pics and story on the green Chevelle @ the very end of the video?

Built by the Roadster Shop and it has their full chassis. I think it uses DSE control arms. Packs an LS7 and the whole car is pretty damn trick.

It was JUST finished for that event. As in tuned the day before. It ran at the RTTH4 event as well and did well there. Oh, they beat the snot out of it. lol

The color is from Porsche.. GT3RS or something like that.

Can't wait for the issue Steve...should we figure sometime in November?

[Steve1968LS2]

Lets see... The Jan issue drops sometime in late November. The story will be in a special issue polybaged with the main issue (there's also a calendar)

That issue will have the story and the lowdown on two of the cars. The rest will be covered over the next three issues. It was done this was for space issues. We also tested a C5 Corvette so that people have a baseline to compare the cars to.

Penny isn't in the story, she just came out for fun and to hang out with Mary. lol

That is the nicest picture I have seen in a LONG time!!! It is an UNBELIEVABLE destop picture on my 24" widescreen!

Thanks Steve!! :twothumbs

VERY NICE!!!

I don't know if anyone else has a favorite in this category, but the exhaust note on the green Roadster Shop Chevelle is my favorite. I wish they had left the music off that video. No need to drown out the exhaust music on those cars...I'll be looking to find out what they used to incorporate that in a build. The nastiest car IMO is the AME 3G Vette.

Love theses videos. So refreshing to see these great cars get flogged and run hard rather than sit and look "pretty".

Found my new wallpaper Steve, great shot!

What is the next event you and Penny are going to attend? I have to see her in person, especially since we live so close together!

[slow4dr]

I can't wait til this issue comes out.


BTW: That C5's performance was laughable in that company. I think Barkley's trailblazer looked better than the Vette.
